    Hi Sarah,

    for IELTS writing the best thing to do is read and listen to broaden your vocabulary and practise writing some answers to questions from former IELTS exams. All that can be found on the net. Some questions like the ones below are IELTS type writing questions.

    1. Children should be forced to attend school until they are eighteen. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

    2. The environment is the only issue. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this assertion?

    You will be marked on grammatical range and accuracy, lexical resource and overall coherence and fluency and I guess how you answer the question.

    cheers M
